This claim will eventually make it in to mainstream news, except presented as a claim of certainty rather than hypothesis. Which is going to be followed by a lot of "Niburu discovered!" posts on social media.
It's the owner's opinion, although I expect he would have hired an editor that aligned to his opinion.
A journalist at another newspaper (not owned by Murdoch) had this in a recent column:
I once asked Rupert Murdoch why he was so opposed to the European Union. “That’s easy,” he replied. “When I go into Downing Street they do what I say; when I go to Brussels they take no notice.”
5. Questioning, mentioning, or affording any opinion on the Faulkand Islands.
So you're looking for bad spellers? I'm pretty sure that anyone with any sort if opinion on the Falkland Islands also knows how to correctly spell the name.
The rips come from other countries where the DVD has already been released. Electronic copies get round the world faster than the physical disks, particularly when the release dates are staggered around the world for whatever reason some media exec came up with.
I think the defense of "it's not our problem if users of our product, designed specifically to do X, irresponsibly use it to do X" doesn't have a great track record of success.
It might depend on how you view it. I've seen it on desktop browsers but not on mobile browsers. On desktop browsers it might be something that can be suppressed with plugins/extensions.
Not the sort of thing that's usually misplaced. Granted there are frequently combat aircraft, representing a number of different counties, flying sorties in that part of the world but you'd think someone would notice if one returned with fewer missiles that it left with. Then again, media suppression is also par for the course in some places.
Or you get slightly more gameplay when you're not killed but wounded and traumatized and shipped to a convalescent home where the doctors, not knowing of PTSD, persuade you that you're merely a bit shell-shocked and it is your duty to King and Country to return to the hellish front.
It's the second bit of action when a bullet blows your head off.
The monetary value of a Nobel prize is about a million euros. I suspect that the lucrative sponsorship deals that a championship winning sportsperson can use to enhance prize money probably aren't available to Nobel prize winners, so the cash bit is probably all they'll ever see. It is possible to raise more than a million euros on Kickstarter but I don't think this is the sort of thing that will grab enough attention to be one of those record-breaking kickstarters, so they might have been better going for the Nobel.
"Horror film", or "horror movie" if you must, is a compound noun but this sub-thread was kicked off by a commentator who believed, on the strength of tabloid headlines that "horror" could be used interchangeably with "horrible".
I suppose it could be argued that "horror crash" (in the linked tabloid article) is also a compound noun but it lacks the prevalence of usage of something more established, like "horror film", so I'm just going to stick with saying "meh, tabloid sub-editors", just because.
I do believe that an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica which conveniently fell through a rift in the time-space continuum from 1000 years in the future described the marketing department that came up with "Share and enjoy!" as "A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came." That might deter use.
Ah, tabloid sub-editors. Well yes, "horror" is only going to be used like that in headlines. Nice impact in only 6 letters. It's not a use that I've seen anywhere else.
* Did I use "horror" in the bizarre yet correct for the UK way? Why do you guys say "horror" instead of "horrible"?
News to me, I don't recall seeing use of "horror" where "horrible" would be more appropriate. The only time I've seen it used in the adjective position is in "horror films", presumably because "horrible films" would be too ambiguous.
There is the ironic use of saying "Oh, the horror!" in response to something that is actually a trivial inconvenience, and I've often heard that USA people don't follow irony.
"What's going to be in the cockpit of the future?"
"A dog and a pilot."
"A dog? Why a dog?"
"Well, the dog is there to keep the pilot from touching anything."
"Ummm, why have the pilot then?"
"Well, someone has to feed the dog!
If the only requirements are HD and closed captioning then it shouldn't take long to knock up an hour's worth of HD black screen, with some captioned drivel, that can be endlessly "viewed" by bots.
I think there's also an economic factor at play. This might be due to the frequently referenced "middle class squeeze" where people simply decide to keep what they have a bit longer rather than get a replacement because their disposable income doesn't stretch quite as far as it used to.
I'm sure we've got teenagers around here that would try for 90 feet. (meters?)
I'm pretty sure it must have been feet. I'm not saying it's impossible to get a car crash ending up 80 meters from the road but it would probably require an adjacent 80 meter cliff.

I think you misunderstand the motivation of today's newspapers.
I'm pretty sure it's to cultivate a readership who will go out and vote the way the newspaper tells them to.

It's the opener to this article.

Actually, it was UPS employees that had to be treated. I suspect that he Amazon ones that required treatment kept quiet about it.
the Uk Government keeps a public list of these people
An easily accessible public list.

So which media company do you work for? Just wondering.

Without ANY bugs? Really?
Two articles ago there was something that looks a lot like a bug to me.

Excellent comment, although I would have modded funny if I had mod points.

The best suggestion for a name that I saw was "The Whacky Racists". Top marks to the person that came up with that.

It looks like a newfangled name for the wisdom of crowds.
